What's with the concerted effort to be self-deprecating on this site? Be thankful you have such a coveted entry level job, geez.

 

Apologize for the seemingly nonsensical post. Getting killed these last few days.

Intern = Fluffer.

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
